Where we finish schemes, we do so with local authorities. Where schemes are finished, and there is plenty of evidence of this around the country, that is a legitimate question that needs to be asked. However, it is one for an entirely different Department. Insurance Ireland has a role to play in this. There needs to be a bit of honesty attached to it. Where hundreds of millions of euro - in fact, billions of euro - are being spent by multiple agencies of the State to defend people, those people are entitled to legitimately ask why they cannot get insurance.
